How are HOYA’s free-form lenses different than other lens manufacturers?

Hoya Free Form incorporates both free form design and lens manufacturing elements. The design is called Double Integrated Surface Technology. The two major components of the progressive design are separated and designed individually to address the specific needs of the wearer Rx and frame parameters.

The vertical component of the design is digitally-surfaced (or molded in the case of iD Lifestyle) on to the front surface of the lens and the horizontal component is digitally-surfaced on the back.

There is no other lens that uses this approach where the design is separated into these two elements and then distributes them separately to the front and back surface of the lens.

What are your free-form lenses?

We have two progressive lens products that use Integrated Double Surface Technology: HOYALUX iD and HOYALUX iD LifeStyle (HOYALUX iD LifeStyle cd).

HOYALUX iD is surfaces on both the front and back while HOYALUX iD LifeStyle has a standardized front surface. Both are available in a range of materials and anti-reflective coatings for any patient’s needs

HOYA also has a free-form single vision lens ~ Nulux ep. Nulux ep is HOYA’s bi-aspheric single vision lens design made possible through HOYA Free-Form Design Technology. Nulux ep delivers:

• Clear vision from edge to edge

• Calculated visual acuity at every point on the lens

• Visual optimization for all powers

How are HOYA’s anti-reflective coatings different?

Thanks to HOYA’s technology our AR coatings offer advantages other AR lenses can’t. HOYA’s Super HiVision offers superior scratch resistance, smudge resistance, and maximum anti-reflective performance.

We also exclusively include Substrate Matching Properties. This means we match the index of refraction of the coating with the lens materials. This way each lens material has a specific coating formulation and provides a customized fit. This process delivers superior chemical and heat resistance and improved lens clarity.
